About

My name is Yichu Zhou. I am currently a Machine Learning Engineer II at Pinterest. I received my Ph.D. in Copmuter Science from Kahlert School of Computing at University of Utah, advised by Prof.Vivek Srikumar.

My research interests fall in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. In particular, I am interested in analyzing and understanding distributed representations. My research covers the following topics:

• Probing representations: How distributed representations encode linguistic information and why they can make the predictions easier.
• Learning representations: How can we represent input examples in real or discrete spaces such that it is easy to build a learner.
